The 26-year-old, who has been left out of France's World Cup squad, is believed to have been punished for a 'severe parking obstruction', which can consist of parking in a disabled bay or on double yellow lines.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Nasri's car, which is worth over £100,000, was impounded by the council last week and remains at the Ardwick pound.

It is believed that the council require Nasri to collect the car in person, but the midfielder is said to currently be on holiday in Dubai with his girlfriend Anara Atanes.

In addition to the parking obstruction, the DVLA's website reportedly claims that the car in question has no tax, which could result in another fine for the Frenchman.
